Organization Overview:
The Fortune Society, Inc. (Fortune) has been working for over 57 years in service to our mission: to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities. The organization has evolved into one of the nation’s preeminent reentry and justice-informed service organizations, providing formerly incarcerated people with the skills and wrap-around services needed to break the cycle of crime and incarceration and to build productive lives in their communities.
Fortune has grown steadily over the years to an agency with close to $90 million in annual budget with just under 600 staff. We anticipate that we will keep growing, both in size and depth of service. Fortune has a dual mission: both advocacy and service. The advocacy portion of our mission focuses on building a more just criminal legal system and reducing the barriers to reentry into society.
The service side of Fortune has evolved to encompass a broad range of programs that started with employment and education and now includes a robust array of services, among them: alternatives to incarceration, supervised release, court advocacy, discharge planning within correctional facilities, licensed substance use and mental health treatment, a housing continuum ranging from emergency and transitional through permanent congregate and scattered site housing, assistance in obtaining benefits, a care management unit, HIV services, a food and nutrition program, and an arts program.
Each service we provide is informed by the needs of the population we serve. Fortune currently serves approximately 14,000 people a year.. Our program models are recognized, both nationally and internationally, for their quality and innovation. We have locations in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan and Queens.
Position Summary:
This exciting new position builds upon Fortune’s decades-long partnership with the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) and NYC Health + Hospitals/Correctional Health Services to offer vital services aimed at preventing substance misuse among persons in custody (PICs) on Rikers Island, with the overarching goal of facilitating connections to treatment services and other community supports post-release.
Reporting to the Substance Misuse Program Manager, the CASAC Supervisor will be responsible for the supervision of a team of five CASACs while also conducting evidence-based therapeutic groups and screening non-classed individuals within the general population on Rikers Island. Individuals who are identified to be struggling with substance use disorder will be referred, as appropriate, for a higher level of assessment.
The CASAC Supervisor will monitor staffing and group curriculum schedules, review documentation of evidence-based screenings and group services and track the status of group participants and individual group completions. Individuals in this role will be prepared to cover groups during staff absences when necessary, and may engage in the occasional individual counseling session, though they will not carry a caseload or conduct regularly scheduled treatment visits with PIC.
They will work closely with the staff they supervise to ensure accurate, timely documentation of group services, screening outcomes, course completions, or other pertinent information is provided. This role also includes working closely with their own supervisors to inform collaboration with CHS, DOC, and other Fortune staff on the provision of services, status of specialized placement, or internal service referrals.
